In Shanghai, there's a high-end coastal restaurant that caters to wealthy people.
At that moment, the street outside the restaurant was filled with cars, mostly luxury sedans and sports cars, and the people getting out of the cars were all rich second-generation heirs from well-off families.
Zhang Yan didn't want to hold this so-called birthday party, but after spending three years abroad, she naturally wanted to welcome her old friends back to China.
Zhang Yan stood outside the restaurant greeting her friends who were coming to the banquet. She looked around but couldn't find the figure she had been longing for day and night, so she couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, why are you sighing?" Her sister Yike patted her on the shoulder.
"It's nothing." She shook her head.
"Hmph." Yi Ke snorted lightly, "I know what you're thinking. I really want to see what kind of man could be so infatuated with you. For the sake of our years of sisterhood, I've given you a big gift."
"What wonderful gift?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Yi Ke replied, looking around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she nodded to Zhang Yan, "Hey, there's a handsome guy over there."
Zhang Yan followed the direction indicated, a look of surprise appearing on her delicate face, but she quickly recovered and, under the watchful eyes of her best friend Yi Ke, strode forward.
"Tch! She said she didn't like handsome guys, but her eyes lit up when she saw one." Yi Ke muttered under her breath, then followed Zhang Yan over.
As I approached, I heard Zhang Yan's voice: "How did you find this place? Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
"I didn't want to come either." Facing the two approaching, Chu Fang sighed, glancing at the girl next to Zhang Yan as he spoke, "This is your good friend, Yi Ke, right?"
"Hehe..." Yi Ke knew who the handsome guy in front of her was, and an awkward smile appeared on her face. "My name is Yi Ke."
At this moment, Yi Ke finally understood why her sister had been missing the man in front of her even after three years abroad. His appearance alone was impeccable; he was handsome and dashing, at least the type that girls liked.
Furthermore, this handsome man exudes a special charm that is very attractive.
Chu Fang said seriously, "You're such a grown-up, you should lie less. And even when you lie, you should use your brain. If you don't use your brain for a long time, it will rust."
Zhang Yan was completely confused: "What's going on between you two? Do you know each other?"
Chu Fang then recounted her suicidal thoughts. After listening, Zhang Yan pursed her lips, a slight smile appearing on her face. She didn't pursue the matter further and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, since you're here, let's go in together."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "Are any classmates here? Wen Xiangbing, Shao Liang, and Rong Shunji?"
Chu Fang shook his head: "It was supposed to be there, but my prediction was wrong, so it's gone."
Zhang Yan asked instinctively, "Who is it?"
"My girlfriend."
In an instant, Yi Ke saw that her sisters' faces were deathly pale, losing their original vibrancy and vitality. Their lips had also lost their moisture, appearing dry and pale. Their bright eyes looked somewhat empty, as if they hadn't eaten for several days. Their bodies were staggering, unable to stand steadily.
Yi Ke quickly helped Zhang Yan up, and the latter pursed her pale lips and stammered, "Girl...girlfriend?"
“Yes,” Chu Fang replied.
"Have you finally found the girl of your dreams?"
"Um."
How long have you known each other?
"Less than half a year."
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying hard to suppress her emotions: "Why didn't you bring her? I could at least meet her and know what kind of girl I lost to."
"I didn't tell her about tonight," Chu Fang said, making things up.
Zhang Yan gritted her white teeth: "Then you should leave too. I don't welcome you."
“... ..."
A heartless woman...
Well, now that things have been made clear, there's no need to stay any longer, thus avoiding an awkward situation.
Thinking it over, Chu Fang turned around and prepared to leave.
Boom boom boom~~~
Suddenly, a deafening sound rang in his ears, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present. They all looked over and saw a burgundy Maserati approaching from the front.
The Maserati stopped in front of the restaurant. Chu Fang raised an eyebrow as he watched the three people get out of the car, and two dimples appeared on his lips.
Everyone who looked at her was amazed, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Three women stepped out of the Maserati: one innocent, one alluring, and the other stunningly beautiful.
The most stunning woman wore a long white and gray silk dress embroidered with exquisite landscape paintings, as if the beauty of nature had been incorporated into every fold of the skirt. The long dress fluttered gently, like clouds and mist swirling among the mountains, giving off an elegant and noble feeling.
She wore a long silk coat over her shoulders; its fine texture, soft sheen, and light, smooth feel seemed to elevate her气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance) to a new level, giving her an air of nobility and grace.
Wearing a pair of black high heels, which complemented her long dress perfectly, she looked even more elegant and poised.
She had a delicate, high nose, soft, rosy lips, exquisite features, and a face like a peach blossom, captivating at first sight. Her hair was meticulously styled, with curls at the bottom, giving her a soft and feminine look.
Every guy who sees this woman will have the same thought: This must be the kind of girl you can't even get even if you chase after a worn-out shoe!
It can only be viewed from afar...
Girls who see this inevitably feel ashamed and inferior.
Yi Ke considered herself to be above average in appearance, and with her dressing up, skincare, and beauty treatments, she was considered to be top-notch. However, when faced with the girl in front of her, she felt a little intimidated and backed away.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the elegant woman stepped out of the car, linking arms with a young man in an intimate manner.
Everyone's hearts shattered instantly.
Therefore, since Zhong Tingyue was wearing a long dress, Chu Fang could feel her delicate and smooth skin and asked curiously, "Weren't you not coming?"
"Who said that?" Zhong Tingyue's voice was tinged with arrogance.
Who said that? You said it!
He could only remain speechless at this, but he breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed. Now that Zhong Tingyue had arrived, he could leave and watch the show.
It sounds pretty exciting.
You bastard, you caused this mess of your own love affairs, and now you want me to help you resolve it? And you're just watching the show... Zhong Tingyue glared at her boyfriend, seeing through his ulterior motives in his eyes. She gritted her teeth in anger, but in the face of her love rival, she still had to maintain her ladylike demeanor.
Ugh, I'm so annoyed.
Then Zhong Tingyue looked up at the girl in front of her. She was wearing a beige knit sweater, the soft texture of which clung to her figure. She paired it with dark blue jeans with slightly flared legs, which looked fashionable and playful, and a pair of brown ankle boots.
Her short hair was particularly eye-catching, neatly styled with a few strands gently falling in front of her forehead.
Without needing an introduction, Zhong Tingyue knew that this girl was her 'defeated opponent' whom she had never met.
A gentle smile appeared on her face as she extended her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhong Tingyue, and I am Chu Fang's girlfriend."
Yi Ke looked at her sisters, her eyes filled with worry. She hadn't expected their opponents to be so powerful. Zhang Yan's cold expression softened instantly as she shook hands with Zhong Tingyue: "Hello, my name is Zhang Yan. I'm one of Chu Fang's... failed suitors."
